May 17, 2012 With the warmer weather here and vacation traveling just around the corner, many of us will be doing a lot more driving. At Big Frog 104, we want those drive times to be safe ones. So, as the old saying goes, keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. Now, a new study indicates the five riskiest distractions while driving.
May 3, 2012 As we begin travel and vacation season with Memorial Weekend at the end of the month, there's word from the New York State Thruway Authority about deer on the roadway.
March 13, 2012 For many college students in the area , this week is Spring Break. And have things changed. When I was in college, those who had enough cash and gas in the VW Bug, would head down to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida (or Myrtle Beach, South Carolina if the gas money ran out). Not all college students will be dancing and prancing on the beach, as many have part-time jobs or just go home to relax with their families and get that home-cooked food!
February 28, 2012 One of the wonders of the world is right here in New York State...Niagara Falls. And if you've ever visited the falls as our family has, you may have taken a cruise aboard the Maid of the Mist, at the foot of the falls. Now, apparently the Canadian company that runs these tour boats has been outbid by an American company, so it sounds like there may still be some kind of boat service below Niagara Falls.
February 22, 2012 Whether it's a day trip or week's vacation, Oneida County has a number of interesting destinations and attractions to enjoy. A new Oneida County Travel Guide for 2012 has just been published, listing all that central New York has to offer tourists and locals as well.
January 11, 2012 The economy has taken its toll of many popular vacation destinations but ocean cruises are still a favorite getaway choice, particularly during the cold, dark winter months when many North Americans head to warmer climes aboard one of the many luxury liners plying the Caribbean and Gulf waters. Cruises are not for everyone however and there are both pros and cons to hitting the open seas.
September 15, 2011 You may have some vacation time left and might be planning a trip during these remaining Frog Days of Summer. If you're a traveler, you may be interested in the top 10 items that people steal (not you or me, certainly) from their hotel rooms.
August 16, 2011 During the Frog Days of Summer, when the McSheas head off on vacation to Cape Cod, we always make sure we sign up for a whale watch. No, it's not a tourist trap or gimmick like those glass-bottom boats, but it's a fascinating way to get up close and almost personal with these incredible mammals...whales!
August 1, 2011 I'm not trying to pry, but Woman's Day Magazine has asked it's readers "Where did you spend your summer vacation"? The McShea family always prefers a summer vacation where there's water, and plenty of it. There are plenty of Frog Days of Summer left, so maybe this can give you an insight into how you might spend your vacation.
June 6, 2011 It won't be long now, vacation season is on the way. We're fortunate here in central New York being close to so many lakes, campgrounds and dozens of summer attractions. But, if you're planning a "Get Out Of Dodge" getaway, that requires some planning.
